Since September 1^st 2016, we have decided to focus LVBE research activities on the topic “Agro-Environmental Vineyard Engineering”. We are a single equipe focused on the Vine/Soil studies, where each LVBE member brings his or her skills with a focus on wood diseases and defence stimulation, as well as bioaugmentation which can have an impact on the latter two aspects.

In September 2019, an agreement was signed between URCA and UHA in order to host the URCA enology team within the laboratory. This team is composed by:

• 6 Associate Professors including (4 Habilitation to supervise research)

In view of our publications, available funding and the demand of professional winegrowers, the concept of Responsible Viticulture will be developed, which will make it possible to respond to the current problems and new challenges for viticulture in the 21^st century.
